Canon MP-101 4-Inch x 6-Inch Matte Photo Paper (120 Sheets/Package)

Horrible paper! It is nothing more than thick paper, and NOT matte photo style, as I was expecting. So maybe it is my fault for being a paper ignoramus but I was expecting the non-glossy style of photo paper like photos used to be, before gloss.

Used with my Brother MFC-J6920DW printer to print save the date "postcards" for my Wedding. Works great, looks like it came out of a print shop. This paper feels like card stock and has a smooth finished side that you can print great quality photos and graphics on. The backside is not suitable for photos but I was able to print text on it and it was OK but not fantastic. This paper does not feel like photo paper, it feels like card stock so if you are looking for something with just a low gloss or something that has a plasticy or clear coat finish this product is not for you. This is more like the paper you would see on a business card or a greeting card.

As event & street photographer, I always take lot photos from the event and street. I was keep look for a good print quality and cheap price photo printer that I can test-out the detail and color before send the final image to photo lab for production. I got Canon MX922 as printer and I ordered 4 difference photo papers from amazon to test out which one is best fit for my need. Epson paper does okay, the color is little bit washed out. Canon Photo Paper Plus Glossy II did very good with portrait photos. Color is very accurate, the glossy look more like finish product for sharing or hand to client directly. If you just want to print family photo for your friend or family member get this one. Canon Photo Paper Plus Semi-Gloss quality is great but price is little bit higher than Glossy or Matte. Now come to the Canon Photo Paper Matte: Pro: 1. Cheap price. 2. Printed color very accurate. Look 96~98% same as the photo lab print. 3. Show great details of the photo, better than glossy paper. 4. No light reflection as glossy paper. Con: 1. Lighter and soft than glossy paper. 2. No sure but it look like use more ink than glossy paper print :) Over all I am very happy with this item, it fit what I need. If you are look for photo paper for causal family photos like birthday party or holiday like christmas get the Canon Photo Paper Glossy II, you can print and share within few secs and look better. If you look for next level like landscape, travel photo or want to hang it on wall with photo frame. Matte does better job than Glossy II paper.

J’aime vraiment ce papier pour les photos, j’aime l’effet qu’il offre, attention il est mat et non brillant! La grandeur est très bien et le papier est épais

First off, photos look great on this paper!!! I have an Epson ET-4800 printer (which is far from high end....) and had no problems. BUT!!!!! 2 things... First do not confuse the stiff packing card as one of the photo sheets. Second (and this is the big one) make sure you print to the right side!!! There is no instructions or markings - I had to figure it out the hard way.....the correct print side is the bright white side. The back is the off white side. Luckily, I only wasted 4 sheets before it dawned on me. If you do print to the back by mistake, you will know it - the pictures will print with a faded look. But you can "recycle" that sheet and re-print to the other side!!!!

Starting off by saying what I’ve seen a lot of others say: this is more like card stock, less like matte or luster photo paper. I’m using this paper make prints of my digital art and the results are stunning. I use a Canon Pro-100 with matte photo paper settings for printing.
